A VCDPropertyItem object provides the functionality to access a video capture device property.
A VCDPropertyItem is retrieved from a VCDPropertyItems collection. It provides the properties's elements ( VCDPropertyElement ) like "range", "auto" etc. It also provides the property's name and identifier string.
A property item can contain one or more VCDPropertyElements. It may contains a VCDPropertyElement that provides the propertie's value and a second VCDPropertyElement that provides the automation switch.
The method VCDPropertyItems.FindItem is used to retrieve a VCDPropertyItem. The property to be retrieved is specified by an item identifier string. To retrieve the brightness property, the string VCDID_Brightness is used. The item identifier strings are defined in the module VCDPropertyID.bas.
